- Benadryl also know as diphenhydramine represents a first generation antihistamine that may improve allergy symptoms and counteracts certain types of itching and urticaria / hives. While still popular for treating the common cold, the idea it provides benefit in this regard was disproved by the military more than a half century ago.
Benadryl or diphenhydramine ranks among the most frequent sleep aids either by itself or as Nytol or Tylenol PM. Unfortunately it interrupts the normal sleep architecture and leads to next morning grogginess especially among the elderly. Actually use of this medication by senior citizens may create more problems than it solves.
Common side effects of Benadryl / diphenhyramine include constipation, urinary hesitancy or inability to void, dry eyes, dry mouth and mental confusion. The second generation antihistamines - Allegra, Claritin, Zyrtec also available as generics - provide comparable relief of allergy symptoms without many of the adverse reactions.
For nasal allergies, inhaled corticosteroid sprays generally offer greater relief and more rapid onset of action with fewer side effects.
It used to work great for sleep. But it backfired on me. Terrible dreams… Insomnia… Anxiety through the roof in the morning
I want this guy to be my doctor
My brother said the first pill that ever made him high was the Benedryl he was given at just 9 years old when he had poison ivy all over his face and eyelids. He was taking Benedryl recently again (now almost 50 years later) because of severe insomnia. His "sleep" ended up being so light that he ended up hallucinating and has been in the hospital trauma unit for ten days so far
I'm on my way
Insomnia and panic over insomnia = high stress😢
@michelekisly2535 yeah now days they'd rather you take 100 of these things then 1 God damn Xanax prescribed at night !
Great information
Thank you for another great video...
Thanks for watching!
You are amazing.
I was taking Tylenol pm for years and it wasn't working so I switched to Unisom. At first it worked but then it stopped so I started taking more. The other night I woke up at 2 am and took two tabs, still couldn't sleep. Got up at 4am and rode my Peloton. Felt crappy. Got off the bike and I started seeing images on my white wall that looked like floral wall paper. Clearly I was hallucinating. It also makes my anxiety spike in the morning. Last night was the first night I didn't take it and I woke up with anxiety again, no hallucinations, but nauseous and constipated. I also can't pee. I've also recently developed Tinnitus. Im stopping this shit stat
Wow, terrible side effects! Hope you're okay now.
It's high functioning anxiety
Benadryl doesn’t make me sleepy, in fact it causes sleeplessness and makes me feel awful like I’m. Creeping in my own skin…. wish it would help me sleep.
We use Benedryl in the hospital to extend the therapeutic benefits of pain medication.
I believe that I had a Benadryl addiction. I was taking for years for sleep due to sleep paralysis. I had stopped taking it a little over a week ago because I was out on Amitriptyline for migraines. After stoping the Benadryl suddenly I have broke out in a hive rash around day 7 or 8. Is this possibly due to the sudden stop? I also took 1 dose of a new mushroom based supplement called AHCC this could have caused the outbreak also. The hives came about an hour after the first and only dose. But I’m not allergic to mushrooms so I’m skeptical and leaning more towards the ending of the Benadryl. What are your thoughts?
I think this doctor is wonderful
Surprised to hear Allegra doesn't affect the brain. Has a strong latent (12hrs) stimulant effect. Helped me a lot with intl' jetlag.
Took 50mg everyday for 10 years for sleep, quit one day, no taper. Quitting destroyed my life, I became allergic to all foods and all meds. Itched head to toe for 5 years straight. Tried getting back on but now I react to benadryl. Its been a living hell. If you are on, dont stop.l suddenly, try tappering very slow over months. Destroyed and still destroying my life.
@@djmemphisa He said don't stop suddenly and taper, not continue to take it.
Very good advice
How are you doing today? Is it still destroying your life or do you feel better?
I take Benadryl (50mg) occasionally for allergies. For me it works very well and I don't get any unpleasant side effects. Sometimes in addition to allergy relief, it does produce a sense of calm and tranquility which afterward gives way to drowsiness. But the drowsiness usually goes away if I take a short nap or even goes away on its own after an hour or two.
its how i get high
@@iknowthisone6844 wait till you get to the spiders my man its some crazy shit
The Benadryl I have the ingredient in it is acrivastine?
Nightquil best for me. Ounce in awhile
I've been using Benadryl for quite some time, but I think it's time to try something else. I'm 73.
Do you feel any cognitive decline from it ? I take 12.5 mg every night for 6 years and it helps me sleep and I feel fine i haven't took more than 25 mg because 12 and 25 mg has never not worked
What about Vilazodone?
Isn't the generic called allergy relief?
my doctor said I could take it for sleep EVERY night? Is that safe?
It can dry your lungs out and lead to pneumonia, make sure to ask about that. God bless!
I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in may 2021. The Urology was more concerned about putting money in his pocket than taking care of my health. I fired his ass, decided to go on strict diet and I cut off all sugar and processed food that feed the cancer cell. I wouldn't trust your Dr. They are agents working for the Pharmaceutical Companies. I been cured taking Apricot Powder bitter seeds pills, and age garlic organic pills.
Zaire? That’s country no longer exist, how old is this video?
It was released about two years ago...
I have take it every two hours for allergic breathing attacks:( My allergies and asthma are severe
does Benadryl act as an anti anxiety drug......
I think it's pretty safe to say yes, I don't think it's a plecabo effect, I have bad anxiety and it seems to help me.
@@matts5478 Same. I found this out completely by accident.
My girlfriend is receiving benadryl in a Psychiatric hospital along with her antipsychotics I'm concerned because it causes more lethargy along with her antipsychotics an she's been gaining a tremendous amount of weight which could've been prevented if she wasn't giving benadryl because her antipsychotics already block the H1 receptor
Ronnie Davis
Well, if you can't ask them to stop giving Benadryl what can we do?
@@itsm3th3b33 I feel so helpless, she used to be thin an fit an Hot asf now she's overweight outta shape an has a constant urge to eat (No satiety)
@@ronniedavis7990
Again... do you just want youtubers to tell you that everything will be OK? You are the one going there to see her. We are not. Go tell someone to do something about it.
@@itsm3th3b33 I can't see her due to the Covid pandemic, but I do talk to her, an I tell her to tell them to take her off the benadryl but they won't nor will they change her meds even tho it's causing dramatic weight gain, an no I don't plan on anyone helping me because they can't
Ronnie Davis
What antipsychotic does she take?
IF I TAKE 1 MG OF KLONOPIN AT NIGHT AND TAKE 25 MG OF BENADRYL AT 5:30 AM IS THAT BAD....???
Benzos are dangerous
I went to prison for 10 years in Zaire that hellhole... but not for holding benadryl.................. tbc
What had happen
You can get high on that stuff but i would prefer DXM Dextromethorphan it's much more pleasant !
Benadryl is best enjoyed in taco form at the pegeant.
I take anywhere from 100mg - 175mg for insomnia.
It works sometimes.
Jamie Leigh Brooks
That's way too much. You've developed a resistance. Look for something else.
J Y yeah, I only take it nowadays maybe once a week and it still barely works. So I either take Seroquel low dose or Phenergan. (I have Insomnia).
Try 6 mg Doxepin !
Robert B. Didn’t work for me :(
For itchy skin.
i'm a long hauler taking it every night 10ml .
120 mg of oxycodone and 12 50 mg of benodryl is what I take every night.
Every night ? Isn't that a little much ?
My oh my what has happened to our beloved corn pops, down the dark road of drug addiction.. those sweet kernels forever tainted ..
Try a new way.
My cousin passed away from an overdose at 43, please consider not taking that much oxycodone
600mg of diphenhydramine?
Not good to take......it actually causes more anxiety in me.....in the beginning it did not but the more I took it the worse the anxiety got.....and it causes constipation...AND blurred vision.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hallucinated the other morning..........no more and my anxiety is through the roof in the morning
Yep me too
🗺🔴because very good 👩🔬🖕⚠️ la rive de l intelligence 😮🕯💡🗝
You skim over the effects on the heart like they exist but they're not a big deal.
It's much less harmful to the heart compared to epinephrine, which is why I believe it should be used in place of epinephrine as an intramuscular last resort, although it should not be sold over the counter, it is much too dangerous.
